Christmas in Kauai 2010

Each year our family switches off on Holidays this year was the "SMITH'S" year so instead of gifts we all decided to go on a vacation TOGETHER!

Our View from the Hotel- Gorgeous sunset

Hiked the Napali Coast on the North side of Kauai to a secluded beach- so amazing

At "The Blow Whole"

Found a small path not traveled much hidden in the trees where it led us to this amazing spot "Queens Bath"- It was just wide open to the ocean and filled lava beds full of water

We found this waterfall that is safe to jump off of -but the water was flowing to fast that time of year, it wasn't safe :( but sure was beautiful to see & fun to explore. *** On Christmas morning we went for a bike ride along the ocean. We ate lunch with the locals that was serving a turkey dinner for anyone whom wanted to eat, super nice people. Then for dinner had fresh seared AHI so delicious. Cant wait to go back

Kendalls Fire Academy 2009-2010

Getting into California Regional Fire Academy was quite a process, applying, interviews, testing, but he got it. The academy is about a 6month program and he learned so much and he got to meet so many people that he has become close with now.
